Now You Has Jazz lyrics – performed by Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby in High Society
DEXTER and ARMSTRONG:
Gentlefolk of Newport
Or should I say “hats and cats,”
Please lend an ear
That ye all may hear
Some shimmering sharps and flats.
For those cozy virtuosi,
Known as “hipsters” to the trade,
Wish to show you now
Precisely how
Jazz music is made.
Take some skins,
Jazz begins,
Take a bass
Steady pace,
Take a box,
One that rocks,
Take a blue horn New Orleans-born.
Take a stick
With a lick,
Take a bone,
Dixie-grown,
Take a spot,
Cool and hot,
Now you has jazz jazz jazz, jazz, jazz.
Now you has,
Now you has,
Now you has,
Now you has,
Now you has,
Now you has,
Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz,
Now you
Has,
Now you
Has,
Now you
Has,
Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz.
Jazz,
Jazz,
Jazz,
Jazz,
Jazz,
Jazz,
Now you has jazz,
Now you has jazz,
Now you has jazz.
